NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS

This will be the Final Post on the old blog. The Comments sections will stay open until 8:00 Eastern time tonight (5:00 Pacific).

You can continue to get your blog fixes throughout the night, if indeed there are people out there who like to re-read old blog items that they've already read. Which we would rather not know about.

If you come back here after 3:00 Eastern (noon Pacific time) tomorrow, the blog will have a fresh new face and a new URL.

All old blog items, comments, categories, and bloglits (we hope) will be transferred to the new site. (We aren't posting the URL because there's nothing there; the next time you come here you will automatically be redirected.)

SPEAKING OF NAKED MEN

WARNING WARNING WARNING

There's going to be a new blog site. We will be moving it this weekend. Well, actually, "we" won't be doing a thing... but the Fabulous ThunderTechs will be moving it this weekend. We have high hopes (BTA) that this will do a lot to stop the spam problem.

We'll post the link, which we hope you'll bookmark (or do whatever it is you do to make sure you can find the blog), here in the final post, later today. All the previous posts (including MOATs) will be moved. And there will be a redirect on this blog for the stragglers.

Any questions?

UPDATE: Remember you can always find the blog from the link at www.davebarry.com.

Nava says the RSS feed will be changing, so you'll have to go to the new blog tomorrow (it should be up about 3:00 Eastern) and get the new link.

NORTHERN MINNESOTA CULTURAL UPDATE

NORTHERN MINNESOTA UPDATE

This is a very nice area. Everybody's friendly and there is scenery out the bazooty. The only thing preventing northern Minnesota from being paradise is the presence of approximately 63,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 small but extremely carnivorous flies.

POLITICS, SOVIET STYLE

Key quote: "If anyone has doubts about my manliness, let them send me their wives and they will become convinced of my prowess for themselves," the leader of the Popular Front of Azerbaijan party, Ali Kerimli, told journalists.

UPDATE FROM MINNESOTA

For family fun you cannot beat driving along the north shore of Lake Superior (or, as the Indians called it, "Lake Erie") looking at the scenery and slowly but steadily consuming an RV-sized box of Cheez-Its from Costco. The scenery is highly scenic, and there is plenty of excellent shopping:

Go here and click on the link to see explicit video of the toilet AND the woman's knee AND the husband poking around the house with a shotgun. Also you will hear the anchorperson explicitly use the term "heebie-jeebies."
